Need a lot more info but possible ph, environmental conditions, watering or other.
Not bug damage as it has a very clear pattern. With no info I would lean towards ph

Type of light?
You should ALWAYS ph last unless using silica in that case you PH twice. So that could be part of it.
I also notice watering is not even and this can create hot spots in the media. So when you water, water thoroughly until runoff and then let dry well.

Light sounds good.
For mixing in this order.
Add silica to water.
PH down to 6..6 (for soil type grow)
Then add nutrients
Then ph adjust to desired PH.
Why? Because silica will raise your PH a shit ton.
Why is this bad? Because some nutrients such as iron will precipitate out of a solution and no longer be available to the plants at a higher PH.
So when using silica ALWAYS PH down after adding it. PHing water before adding any nutrients or additive is a waste of your time as it's the final PH before feeding that is important and adding nutrients or additives will change the Ph so any PH adjustments made prior are moot.
Hope that helps explain it
